The answer is in the image
Graph C is the correct option.
If you drew a straight line (mostly) connecting the points, it would be linear. A relationship is linear if one variable, in this case, x, increases by approximately the same rate as the other variables, in this case y.
If you drew lines connecting points on the other graphs, they wouldn’t resemble a straight line, therefore, they aren’t linear.
Answer:
ST = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Line segment RS and segment ST must add up to line segment RT
Step 1: Define
RS = 17
ST = x + 6
RT = 3x - 5
Step 2: Set up equation
mRS + mST = mRT
17 + x + 6 = 3x - 5
Step 3: Solve for <em>x</em>
x + 23 = 3x - 5
23 = 2x - 5
28 = 2x
x = 14
Step 3: Find mST
ST = x + 6
ST = 14 + 6
ST = 20
